Okuno Hosomichi

The best meal, the best bed, the best hospitality. The hot spring in the room is nice to be able to enjoy anytime. I want to use it again next time.

The environment and dishes are quite satisfactory. The rice is delicious as always, but the overall is not outstanding, so the price performance ratio is not high. It may be that Arima Onsen is very famous, and the owner's name is really big (many celebrities took group photos in the store).

1 night, 2 meals, Japanese-style room A (with terrace) with homemade hot spring open-air bath for 2 adults, Kobe beef Unkai nabe included, a plan for a meal prepared for you that is not only delicious but also visually pleasing, it said that it was about a 15-minute walk from the Arima Onsen bus terminal from Osaka International Airport to the hotel, but the road was narrow and quite uphill, the hotel called the day before and said they would pick you up when you arrived at the bus terminal, so I called and they were there in about 5 minutes, the hotel was quite uphill, turned right and crossed a bridge, it may be a little difficult to find if it's your first time (it's better to ask for a shuttle without getting lost), when I arrived at the hotel, I checked in at the lounge and was shown to my room, and was guided around the building on the way, the large public bath was next to the lobby, the room was on the 4th floor and the hotel itself was small, when I entered the room I was briefly explained about the equipment in the room (it was polite and nice), the room was spacious enough for two people and clean, the open-air bath was a ceramic tub It was a room with a sense of openness (there was even a light on the outside, so it was too visible). It was a relaxing room. There was a coffee maker, snacks, and something called a delicacy pudding. We were told that we could drink anything from the fridge (beer, oolong tea, juice, etc.). There was a box on the table, and when I looked closely, it said "melon". I was surprised and wondered how I was going to get it home. Since I had some time before dinner, I decided to go to the hot spring town. I was picked up again this time. The hot spring town is quite narrow and complicated, so I recommend getting a walking map at the bus terminal or tourist information center. On the way back, I was picked up at Arima Onsen Station (the station is a rotary and is wider). I returned to the hotel and went to the large public bath. Since I didn't meet any other guests, it was almost private. The indoor bath was a homemade hot spring, and the open-air bath was a gold spring. There are set bathing times, and you can't enter late at night, and men and women switch in the morning. There was ice cream and drinks available for free in the rest area. For dinner, the air conditioning was too strong in the dining area, so they turned up the temperature. They explained about the appetizers and sashimi, but I was so engrossed in eating that I didn't really listen. They made sushi right in front of me, and made Unkai nabe while explaining it to me. For dessert, they made ice cream by pouring magic liquid over Rokko milk. The chef's elaborate dishes were very delicious. At the end, we had rice porridge with green seaweed, but we could change it to onigiri, and they said they would bring it to our room as soon as it was ready, so we did that since we were full. They brought it to us a little later and it smelled good, like freshly cooked rice. I thought it was just a salted rice ball, but it was an elaborate dish mixed with dried small sardines. There was a space for one person to wash in the open-air bath in the room. The bathtub was quite large, big enough for an adult and a child to fit in. After getting out of the bath, I was hungry so I had onigiri (it was good that they made it so I could eat in the room). Dessert I had a delicious pudding that I had chilled in the morning, it was not too sweet and delicious. I was full, so I decided to go to bed. Breakfast was from 7:00 in the morning, so I woke up slowly and took a bath in the room. At this time of year, the morning breeze is pleasant. I had a Japanese meal at the same seat as the night. It was a elaborate meal for breakfast. You can go out to the garden from the lounge and there is a foot bath, so I tried soaking in it. Coffee and other drinks were also prepared in the lounge. Check-out was at 11:00, so I had time to spare. I decided to check out early and take a walk around the hot spring town. Check-out was also polite and nice. Finally, I received salmon pickled in miso as a souvenir. I was happy to receive a souvenir (the handbag I brought at the airport to put souvenirs in was filled with melon and pickled in miso). Overall, it seems to be a high-class hotel with many chefs, so it may be closer to a traditional Japanese inn. It is for people who want to spend their time in luxury once in a while. Lastly, I used the shuttle service several times, but they sent me back and forth without any complaints, which was helpful.
